All about the unwanted, rewrapped gift | Arab News — Saudi Arabia News, Middle East News, Opinion, Economy and more.
Whenever, I read in the classifieds column of someone wanting to hock an unwanted gift I think of the poor sod who gave it. There he is wrapping it up in colored paper and sticking a card to it with best wishes and all that and what does the recipient do, he puts an ad in the papers looking for buyers. Here is an unwanted gift, any bids please. Imagine the giver picking up the paper with the coffee in the morning and yawning back to bed. He scans the columns and his eye alights upon this legend: For quick sale, an ormolu clock with filigree work and silver etchings, unwanted gift, good as new. So, he shakes awake his wife. Look at this, he says, there is an ad for a clock just like the one we gave the Shankars, what a coincidence, maybe we could alert them and then they can have a pair of ormolus.
